A victim of the attack told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu, on Friday, that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen.

She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30 p.m. and was attacked a few kilometres away.

The victim further said that the robbers mounted a road block to give the impression that they were policemen on duty.

“As we approached the road block, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to reverse but it was late. The robbers, sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said.

The victim said that the robbers forcefully raped all the female corps members in the bus and carted away their belongings which included laptops, jewelry, handsets, foodstuffs and money.
